Hi PH! πŸ‘‹ William here, maker of Pixel. Together with the help of our early users, we've been working on an exciting new digital marketing tool for the last year. I'm stoked to share it today. Say hello to Pixel, the all-in-one digital marketing tool! Create short links, QR codes, and Microsites. Share them anywhere. Track what works, and what doesn't. πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ Why Pixel? As a maker and marketer I often found myself reaching for a tool like Pixel in my marketing efforts (think Bitly, LinkTree, Rebrandly), but nothing met the mark. Existing tools were either too restrictive or got in the way with limits and paywalls. I needed a simple, but powerful tool that combined all the key features and flexibility needed for a successful marketing campaign without breaking the bank, so I got to work on building and bootstrapping Pixel. Short links and dynamic QR codes: Customize and share dynamic links and QR codes. Capture data with every click and scan, measure engagement and improve marketing performance. Microsites: A completely new approach to link-in-bio. Build a mobile-first digital experience for your next project or marketing campaign. Create custom, creative websites that help educate, engage, and sell. No code needed. Pixel Plus: Simple pricing. The Plus plan offers unlimited links, QRs, tracking, and other powerful features for $24/month. ⚑️ Latest update Our biggest update so far has been the introduction of Microsites earlier this month. Microsites are mobile-first websites which connect with your links and QR codes to create custom digital experiences that help educate, engage and sell. We developed the drag and drop builder around illustration tools like Figma and Canva, hopefully providing users with the freedom and flexibility they need to create a truly engaging website for their next project or marketing campaign. They're link-in-bio pages without limits. Check out our free starter templates to see exactly what's possible with Microsites. πŸ€‘ Todays discount: 40% off Pixel Plus To celebrate our Product Hunt launch we are offering 40% off Pixel Plus, for the first 6 months. Use code MEOW40 at checkout, available for today only. ❀️ What do you think? As an entrepreneur I built Pixel to offer real value to the world, and I am very excited for you to check it out. If you have any thoughts on Pixel I'd love to hear from you. Leave a comment below, or reach out via email at team@pxl.to whenever. πŸ”¨ Our goal is to be the single most valuable tool in every marketers toolbox. Cheers, William

Congrats on the launch! I would suggest opening a free plan, so people could try your product before purchasing it. It might boost your conversions.
William Paul
@filip_ognjanovic Hey Filip thanks for the feedback. We have a 7-day free trial (no cc required) which we hope is enough time for people to try out the product first, however we're always open to suggestions for improvement and will certainly consider a completely free plan in the future.

@william_paul @filip_ognjanovic Same here, I also thought a credit card was necessary, so I didn't try it. Yes, such a notice would be very useful :-)

Finally, someone put all the essential tools in one place at a fair price! Guys, good luck with the launch!
William Paul
@valeriia_dziubenko Thanks Valeriia!

Congratulations to the Pixel team on your launch of Pixel! πŸš€ With Pixel's ability to create short links, dynamic QR codes, and Microsites, we can easily share product use cases on various platforms. And find out which channels drive engagement. Kudos to Pixel! πŸŽ‰

This is one of those tools that I've been using on a regular basis. I utilize the insights for optimization and growth. Congratulations on your launch to PH. Cheers.

Must-have tool for brands and agencies to track the success of digital campaigns associated with links. Provides comprehensive campaign insights in one convenient dashboard. Congratulations on the PH launch!

@kariyawasam Hey Pradeep, thanks for the endorsement!

Great product, love the blend of customizable short links, QR codes, and data tracking. The team has also made some very interesting updates in the time I've been using the platform, primarily with a new Microsites feature, enabling the creation of engaging mobile-first digital experiences. I've had no reason to test out the support, the platform just works and is very easy to use. I can see which links are getting clicks, easily change the destination, group them via smart folders, it's just a solid tool, great job team, looking forward to seeing what other ideas you introduce.
William Paul
@markjdraper Hey Mark, it's great to hear you're finding value in the tool. Many thanks for your support πŸ™
Creating short links and QR codes is essential for modern marketing. How customizable are the Microsites that users can create with Pixel?
William Paul
@ricardo_luz Hey Ricardo, thanks for the question! The goal for Microsites was for them to be 100% customizable and have a very wide range of applications. We designed site builder to be more like a photo editing tool where users can simply drag and drop elements into place. With this, Microsites can be used to build anything from a unique link-in-bio page to a completely custom experience for a marketing campaign. In the future we plan to introduce features that support a greater level of user interaction, including a sign-up component to collect leads, and a payment component to accept one-off payments.

Congrats for your launch, and all the best! :-) With logo placement, analytics, and even a microsite: Awesome! :-)

@kim_bro Cheers Kim :)

An amazing product, @william_paul has created one of the best short links products I've tested. He continues to develop it further from what I expected when I started using it, thanks for all the hard work and keep it going, you rock!
William Paul
@matqv Hey Mat! Thank you very much for the kind words! 😸
Martin Neumann
Hi William, I wish you much success for your Product Hunt start. You have my upvote and support! 😊 Thank you for developing Pixel, I use your service regularly and am grateful for it! BR, Martin from allmytools.org
William Paul
@neumatin Cheers for the kind words Martin πŸ‘ and thanks for using Pixel
Alex Leroy
What is the advantage over bitly?
William Paul
@alex_leroy Thanks for the question! The two main advantages over Bitly are Microsites (A completely new approach to link-in-bio pages), and pricing (The Plus plan offers unlimited links, QRs, tracking, and other powerful features for a far more competitive price).

Thanks to Pixel’s functionality in generating short links, dynamic QR codes, and Microsites, we can effortlessly distribute product use cases across different platforms and identify the channels that generate the most engagement. Congratulations to Pixel for this amazing feature!

After evaluating several short links and QR code generators, I have determined that this tool best fits my needs.
Grant Millar
Congrats on the launch! I can't remember how you described it (perhaps you could explain here), but one of the standout features had something to do with the way the sites are hosted, to ensure 100% uptime. I've had a link shortener stop working once before and it made all of my links stop working while it was out. That makes a competing case for this product. πŸ™Œ
William Paul
@grant_millar1 Hey Grant! It sounds like you're eluding to that fact that Pixel links, QRs and sites are all served by the Amazon CloudFront CDN. This makes them very fast to load and unlikely to experience any downtime. Thanks for the comment πŸŽ‰
Dhiraj Jha
Congrats on the launch! Gotta say, one thing that really grabbed my attention is how your sites are hosted to ensure 100% uptime. I've had a link shortener fail on me before, and my links went kaput for a hot minute. Your product? It's a game-changer. Major props to @william_paul for creating one of the top short-link tools out there. Been using it for the past year, and man, it's been fantastic.

πŸŽ‰ Congratulations on the launch of Pixel @william_paul ! The concept of an all-in-one digital marketing tool is quite impressive. I’ve been on the lookout for something like thisβ€”a tool that can create short links, dynamic QR codes, and microsites and also track their performance. This product could be a game-changer in the digital marketing space. I can’t wait to give it a try and see how it simplifies my marketing efforts. Keep up the good work! πŸ‘
William Paul
@growwithswapnil Thanks Swapnil πŸ™ I appreciate the kind words.

Love the look of it. Resite.link and this are great tools.
